Handcrafted Ceramic Red Clay Tea Pet Goldfish Ornament
These cute handcrafted figures make a perfect gift for any fancy goldfish fishkeeper enthusiasts. The goldfish figurines are kept by some tea drinkers for good luck. The history of tea pets can be traced back to the Yuan dynasty (1206–1368). They are usually made of "zisha" or Yixing clay, from the region near Yixing in Jiangsu province, China. Just like Yixing teapots made of the same clay, tea pets are unglazed, so they are mostly monochromatic with a rough surface. Tea lovers in China raise a tea pet by placing it on the tea tray during tea time and pouring the tea over it.
